I hear it's a bit dry out where you are, Swede. More than a bit.
The photo is the North Dakota/Montana border in late summer 2012, still smoldering after a prairie fire. I saw the smoke from a valley where I was resetting stakes knocked down by cattle. A half mile run to the water tank ... fortunately (for me), the wind was in the other direction.
No cattle were lost, but it took out five mobile homes, two farms, and a huge pole barn containing half a million dollars worth of classic cars - all in about ten minutes.

Fantastic photo! Unsure of how to relate the poem to it, though.
